StaticRuhrTour – lastest update

Due to timing issues, good friend Robert Gerlings had to optimize the StaticRuhrTour so he made some updates to the first version and finalized the schedule. We’ll visit some iconic Ruhr valley sites, have a beer at a corner shop, a local specialty snack. Part of the Ruhr valley experience is travelling by public transport – yay, that should be fun:

we’ll meet up on Friday, July 13th, at 11am in front of Oberhausen train station (five minutes walk from the NH Hotel, Oberhausen)

from Oberhausen train station we’ll head to Gelsenkirchen train station

from Gelsenkirchen train station a bus will bring us to “Halde Rheinelbe”, a pithead stock

a little hike up to the top for some great views

hiking down to a “Büdchen” (that’s what we call the local corner shops) for a little Pils beer break (hurray!)

a tram will take us back to Gelsenkirchen train station

from Gelsenkirchen train station another tram will take us to Essen. On the way we’ll have some of Robert’s home made local specialty snack!
